Maybe part of an case intrusion detector?

So that the roomba doesn't get bored.

Yes, you could continue using the old unmaintained app, but this is similar to using old proprietary app versions that lack security updates and are always at risk of stopping to work due to some changes in your OS. So that is far from ideal.

Non-commercial is really not well defined legally. For example in Germany, a public tax funded broadcaster was found in breach of a CC-BY-NC license for using an image on their website. And many similar legal examples exist. So basically anything that involves a service offered to more than one person, even if totally free and donation funded, is not safe from litigation.

And obviously, if upstream changes the license to something that triggers a hostile fork, it is unlikely that you will get a commercial license for that hostile fork. Furthermore, even if you somehow can make a deal, you will always remain hostage of that proprietary license.

FOSS licenses are explicitly designed to protect the users of the software from such potentially abusive licensing, so I really don't think anyone will see this as an improvement.

You could probably approximate something similar with Odoo. It is a big ERP, but all modular, so you can just remove the parts that are too complex.

Well, if they want to try that they are of course free to try, but the argument has a big gaping hole:

They might not ever change the license terms afterwards for software already on your hard-drive, but they absolutely can do so for updates and likely will. Normally that would result in a fork if the new terms are bad, but who would be willing to fork software under a restrictive non-commercial license that doesn't even allow you to collect donations for running the infrastructure?

So in the end you are basically back at square one with nothing but nice promises by them and still vendor locked.

There is some discussion on the issue tracker about fetching a json file with all the communities from the Lemmyverse search engine to improve discoverability.

It's not "open-source" either, so neither of these communities fit.

Yes, I am aware that the game code can be modified under a custom license now, but that does not extend to the game engine and the license is not OSI compatible, so calling it open-source would be highly misleading.

Many games that can be modded have the source for the game code available 🤷

Not FOSS though...

Maybe, but the digital Euro has none of the buyer's privacy protection of Taler.

I personally suspect that the digital Euro will not see much every-day uptake because it will be overly bureocratic and a hassle to use, but it might end up as an common way to charge your Taler wallet.

https://www.gls.de/taler is the page of the German bank.

The forum of the ongoing project has some interesting links, but is sadly not very active: https://ich.taler.net/

No, it is a payment system, not a pseudo currency. Think of it as an open-source Paypal.

It has been used as a digital voucher system on some events, and there is afaik a trial with a inofficial regional currency somewhere in Italy.

But mainly people are currently waiting for the first bank to offer an option to charge your Taler wallet with Euros. There is a German coop bank that plans to do so in the comming weeks.

Looks quite nice, and at least it isn't a Quest exclusive title.
